Say you have files like:
main.c
imglib.c
config.c
Why not just have these files:
license-info/GPL
license-info/SOME-OTHER-LICENSE
Which would contain, respectively:
main.c
config.c
And:
imglib.c
Then just have a script, maybe add it as a hook on your server before
it accepts a push which ensures that all files currently in the tree
are listed in those license-info/* files.
You could also just add a license header to each of these files, and
have a script that ensures that everything has such a header. I think
the Debian project has such a script that you could adapt.
Git just tracks files, so just do this in some file-based manner and
you'll be fine.
